10 ASSEMBLY READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN You ll probably need at least adults and hours to assemble your trampoline (of course, that depends on what model you have, and whether or not you re secretly a superhero). We ve provided a Phillip s screw driver and two adjustable wrenches to help with assembly, but you re more than welcome to use your own tools. Many find that using a power drill and a rubber mallet makes things easier. Use gloves to protect your hands from pinch points during assembly. Plus, it s an up-and-coming fashion trend. The assembly steps refer to parts by their descriptions and key numbers (see the part list on page 3). The assembly steps are written in a specific order, and if you don t follow them exactly... you may end up having to start all over again. We promise we won t say, I told you so but really... we told you so. Most importantly... YOU VE GOT THIS. YOU RE THE BEST TRAMPOLINE ASSEMBLER AROUND. This may not be the easiest thing you ve ever done... but it will be worth it. Trust us. And if you re a visual learner, check out our assembly videos!

31 METHODS OF ACCIDENT PREVENTION THE SUPERVISOR S ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS It is the responsibility of the supervisors of trampoline users to provide knowledgeable and mature supervision. They need to know and enforce all of the rules and warnings printed in this manual to minimize the likelihood of accidents and injuries. They also need to inform users of these rules. During periods of time when supervision is unavailable or inadequate, this may require that the trampoline is taken down, placed in a secure area, or otherwise secured against unauthorized use. Another option that may be considered is covering the trampoline with a heavy tarp that can be secured with locks and chains. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to make sure that the placard with trampoline safety instructions is kept posted on the trampoline and that jumpers are informed about these instructions. THE JUMPER S ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS Education on the part of the user is a must for safety. Users must first learn a low, controlled bounce and then learn the basic landing positions and combinations before proceeding to intermediate skills. Jumpers must understand why they have to master control before they can start thinking about other moves. Understanding the proper progression of skills in jumping on a trampoline must be the first lesson. Review this manual to learn about the basic techniques for using the trampoline. Follow the rules on the placard with trampoline safety instructions (see step [3] in assembly instructions). For further information or additional instructional materials, contact a certified trampoline instructor. TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For the Supervisor Read the instructions before using the trampoline. Enforce all of the safety rules. Become familiar with the information in this manual so you can help new users learn basic jumps and all users follow trampoline safety. All trampoline users must have mature, knowledgeable supervision, regardless of their skill or age. This trampoline is not recommended for use by children under 6 years of age. Inspect the trampoline before using it. Do not use the trampoline without the frame pad securely in place to cover the frame. Do not use the trampoline in wet or windy conditions. A worn or damaged mat, spring, or frame piece should be replaced immediately. Jumping Learn fundamental jumps and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. Know your own limits in performing each of the trampoline jumps. Study this manual to learn how to do basic jumps. Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline mat. Learn this skill before attempting any others. HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH WINDS A trampoline with an enclosure can be moved or blown over by high winds. Anyone in its path, or inside of the enclosure, may be injured if this happens. If you expect high winds, take down the enclosure netting and stake the trampoline frame to the ground, or move the trampoline and enclosure to a sheltered location. The only sure method to protect your trampoline and the surrounding environment during high winds is to completely disassemble the unit and store indoors. Damage due to wind or weather is not warranted. 3

32 INSTRUCTIONS & MODEL LESSONS The following lessons are examples of an instructional program. They should follow a complete discussion and demonstration of body mechanics between the supervision and the student(s).. Mounting and dismounting: Demonstration and practice of proper techniques.. Fundamental bounce: Demonstration and practice. 3. Breaking: Demonstration and practice. Breaking on command. 4. Hand and knee drop: Demonstration and practice, stressing four-point landing and alignment. Lesson : Fundamental Bounce. Start from a standing position with your head erect and your eyes on the frame pad.. Swing your arms forward and up in a circular motion. 3. Bring your feet together and point your toes downward while in the air. 4. Keep your feet about 5 inches apart when landing on the mat. Lesson : Knee Drop. Start bouncing from a standing position, keeping your eyes on the frame pad.. Land on your knees, keeping your back straight and your body erect. 3. Come back up to an erect position. Lesson 3: Hand and Knee Drop. Start bouncing from a standing position, keeping your eyes on the frame pad.. Land on the mat on your hands and knees. 3. Push with your hands and come back up to an erect position. Lesson 4: Back Drop. Start from a low bounce and land on your back. 3. Keep your chin forward on your chest as you land. 4. Kick forward and up with your legs to return to an erect position. 3

33 Lesson 5: Seat Drop. Land in a sitting position with your legs parallel to the mat.. Place your hands on the mat beside your hips. 3. Push with your hands to return to an erect position. Lesson 6: Front Drop. Start from a low bounce and land on the mat in a prone position.. Keep your head up and your arms extended forward on the mat. 3. Push with your arms to return to an erect position. Lesson 7: Half Turntable. Start from the front drop position and push to the left or right with your arms turning your body in the opposite direction.. Turn your head and shoulders toward the direction that your body is turning. 4. Keep your back parallel to the mat and your head up. 5. After completing a half turn, land in the front drop position. Lesson 8: Swivel Hips. Start with a seat drop. 3. Turn your head to the left or right and swing your arms up in the same direction. 4. Turn your hips in the same direction as your head and arms, completing a twist. 5. Land in the seat drop position. 4. Keep your back parallel to the mat and your head up. 5. After completing a half turn, land in the front drop position. Once each of lessons are learned, the student should now be encouraged to design and organize routines, with emphasis on good form. The instructor may judge or grade students and arrange groupings for further instruction accordingly. To stimulate interest in competition, the game of Trampoline Horse can be introduced. Before the game begins, students must count off. To start the game, student number performs a stunt. Student number then mounts the trampoline, performs the same stunt and adds a second stunt. Student number 3 mounts and performs stunts and and adds a third stunt. Thus the series of stunts is continuously lengthened. The first person to miss a stunt in the series assumes the letter H and starts a new series with a stunt. If a person misses again, he assumes the letter O. When a person accumulates H-O-R-S-E, he or she is eliminated from the game. The last remaining contestant is the winner. Lesson planning from this point on should be facilitated by contacting a certified trampoline instructor. 33

34 TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INFORMATION In trampoline use, as in all active recreational sports, participants can be injured. However, there are steps that can be taken to reduce risk of injury. In this section, primary accident patterns are identified and the responsibilities of supervisors and jumpers in accident prevention are described. ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION Somersaults (flips): Landing on your head or neck, even in the middle of the trampoline mat, increases the risk of a broken back or neck, which can result in paralysis or death. Such events can occur when a jumper makes an error trying to perform a forward or backward somersault (flip). Do not perform somersaults(flips) on this backyard trampoline. Multiple Jumpers: More than one jumper at a time on the trampoline increases the chance of a jumper becoming injured by losing control of his or her jump. Jumpers may collide with one another, fall off of the trampoline, fall onto or through the springs, or land incorrectly on the mat. The jumper weighing the least is the jumper most likely to be injured. Mounting and Dismounting (Getting on and off): The trampoline mat is several feet above ground level. Jumping from the trampoline to the ground or any other surface may result in injury. Jumping onto the trampoline from a roof, deck, or other objects also presents a risk of injury. Smaller children may need assistance getting onto or down from the trampoline. Climb carefully onto and off of the trampoline. Do not step onto the springs or the fame pad. Do not grasp the frame pad to pull yourself onto the trampoline. Striking the Frame or the Springs: Injury may result from hitting the frame or falling through the springs while jumping or getting onto or off of the trampoline. Stay in the center of the mat when jumping. Be sure to keep the frame pad in place to cover the fame. The frame pad is not made or intended to support the weight of trampoline user. Do not step or jump directly on the frame pad. Loss of Control: Jumpers who lose control of their jumps may land on the mat incorrectly, land on the frame or springs, or fall off of the trampoline. A controlled jump is one where the landing is in the same spot as the takeoff. Before learning a more difficult stunt, you should be able to do one over an over with control. Attempting a stunt beyond present skill levels increases the chance of loss of control. To regain control and stop your jump bend your knees sharply when you land. Alcohol or Drug Use: The chance of injury increases when a jumper has consumed alcohol or taken drugs. These substances impair a person s reaction time, judgement, and physical coordination. Encountering Objects: Jumping on a trampoline while other people, pets, or objects are underneath it will increase the chance of getting hurt. Jumping while holding or having an object on the trampoline, particularly one that is sharp or breakable, will increase the chance of injury. Placing a trampoline too close to overhead electrical wires, tree limbs, or other objects can increase the chance of injury. Poor Maintenance of The Trampoline: Jumpers may be injured if a trampoline is in poor condition. A torn mat, bent frame, broken spring, or missing frame pad, for example, should be replaced before anyone is allowed to jump. Inspect the trampoline before each use. Weather Conditions: A wet trampoline is too slippery for safe jumping. Gusty or high winds can cause jumpers to lose control. To reduce the chance of injury, use the trampoline only when the weather is good. Access: To prevent access to the trampoline by unsupervised smaller children, the optional access ladder should always be taken away and stored in a safe place when the trampoline is not in use. 34

35 ENCLOSURE SAFETY INFORMATION NEED FOR TRAMPOLINE ENCLOSURE SAFETY A trampoline enclosure is a recreational product. The information on this page identifies important safety precautions. The precautions are not all-inclusive, because an enclosure can be used in ways that this manual cannot cover completely. To prevent pinches and cuts during enclosure use, a frame pad must be installed on the trampoline (see the trampoline manufacturer s instructions). The frame pad must be placed on the trampoline before the enclosure is erected. The frame pad reduces the chance of injury from accidental contact with the springs and frame. USING THE ENCLOSURE SAFELY Adult Supervision of Children Children using a trampoline with a trampoline enclosure must be supervised by adults. Young children must be supervised constantly. Adults must pay particular attention to: Things that children bring into the enclosure Children s activities inside the enclosure Conditions inside the enclosure while children are using it The way children enter and exit the enclosure Additional details of safety enclosure use are described below: Electrocution Hazard Associated with the Metal Frame of the Trampoline and Enclosure The trampoline and enclosure frames are made of galvanized steel. They are not grounded and will conduct electricity. For this reason, an electrocution hazard exists. No lights, electric heaters, extension cords, or household electrical appliances are to be permitted on the trampoline or in the enclosure at any time. Hazards Associated with Entering and Exiting the Trampoline Enclosure A trampoline enclosure installed on a trampoline is raised off the ground. The height of the enclosure increases the risk of a fall when a jumper is entering or leaving the enclosure. Young children especially may have difficulty entering and exiting the enclosure. To reduce the risk of falling, always help young children to get into and out of the enclosure. Enter and exit the trampoline enclosure only through the door of the enclosure (the opening in the netting walls). The trampoline mat (bed) and the netting walls of the enclosure are separate pieces. No jumper, especially young children, should ever leave the enclosure by going out between the mat and the netting walls. Trying to get out this way creates a risk of choking from being caught between the trampoline frame and the netting walls. Darkness increases the chances of a fall when a jumper is entering or leaving the enclosure. Do not use the trampoline unless there is plenty of lighting provided. Hazards Associated with Animals, Sharp or Breakable Objects To avoid damage to the trampoline enclosure and the trampoline, do not allow pets or other animals inside of the enclosure. The claws and teeth of animals can damage the netting. Do not jump on the trampoline while holding or wearing a sharp or breakable object. 35
